What Do You Think Will Happen for a Minor Getting Arrested for Possession of Cocaine?

Question by Sam: What do you think will happen for a minor getting arrested for possession of cocaine?
I got arrested about 5 months ago and just got my court papers. I got arrested with about a gram of cocaine. Since I got arrested my parents put me in a outpatient rehab facility, and then have been going to SAFIR once a week ((supporting adolecents in recovery)). I used to have a trauency problem but since then have been switched into independent study and have been getting good grades and attendence and am already working on my next years credits. I also work 2 jobs and do a bit of acting classes and auditions here and there. I’m totally freaking out because I have court in like 2 weeks and the public defender said that the max i can get is 3 years in juvey but I want opinions on what you think will happen? It is a felony and I guess in California they can be a bit harder on cocaine users. No preachers please, I’m stressed and scared enough as it is. I know what I did is wrong and am also writing an essay to the judge to bring.
i also have no other offenses.
